you also have to remember that for a long time our ancesters could almost be called a prey species but because of evolution we used our intellect to move to the top of the food chain instead of being stuck in the middle.
Our bloody nature evolves from the instinct to protect and posses.
Somehow the Iranian Courts and their leadership have never gone beyond the fact that woman are nothing more then property and they treat them that way.
either possess them all the way, or get rid of them.

I completely agree that a lot of evil comes from the desire to possess, but is that an inherent human trait? Or simply taught to us as a child. Would it go against our nature if we were taught to live in harmony with the earth, and not desire to own material things rather than to simply enjoy them? Early first nations culture, and a lot of far eastern ways of thinking seem to contradict that to me.
